Getting the complete picture

Interoperability and the ability to network and join all services and assets is imperative for military operations of the future. Saab's development team is designing systems today ready for expansion into the very-near-future of network centric warfare.

Saab is deeply involved in the current development of the new C4ISR-system for the Swedish Armed Forces based on the Network Centric Warfare (NCW) concept.

The NCW concept can be summarised as

	Co-operating systems of systems
	Superior situation knowledge, aka Dominant Battlespace Awareness
	Decision Superiority
	Precision Engagements

NetC4I is a network centric C4ISR system. The NetC4I framework is explicitly designed for prototyping, implementing and integrating network centric command and control systems.

Apart from the standard C2 services such as situation picture, GIS and order/reporting management it features the concepts of role based access, system of system integration, dynamic configuration of system functionality and user interfaces.

NetC4I is extremely flexible and highly scalable due to its service based multitier architecture. Furthermore, it has a near real-time behaviour and can make use of a number of communication mechanisms and middleware.
